On Thursday, Aug. 28, the first block of the Main Street Promise construction project will reopen to travelers. Before the barricades are removed, the block between Mill Plain Boulevard and 15th Street will be closed for a celebration from 3 to 5 p.m. marking the milestone.
“Main Street is the heart of our downtown and we’re delivering on our promise to build a destination that’s vibrant, accessible and economically strong,” said Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle. “The 1400 block is a preview of what the corridor will soon be, with upgraded water and sewer lines, new pavement, and beautiful brick pavers. More than just infrastructure; it’s the foundation of a stronger, more connected downtown.”
The City, along with Vancouver’s Downtown Association, will host a block party from 3 to 5 p.m. in the 1400 block of Main Street on Aug. 28 to celebrate and recognize Main Street businesses. Guests will enjoy live music. Light refreshments will be provided by the Greater Vancouver Chamber. Brief remarks will begin at 3 p.m. with a welcome from Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle.
